What is Trunk Varicose Veins?
Trunk varicose veins are large, swollen veins that typically appear just beneath the surface of the skin, most commonly in the legs. These veins are often blue or dark purple and can appear twisted or bulging. They occur when the valves inside the veins become weakened or damaged, leading to poor blood circulation and the pooling of blood within the veins.
Symptoms of Trunk Varicose Veins
- Visible Bulging Veins: Enlarged, twisted veins that are easily seen on the surface of the skin.
- Aching or Throbbing: Discomfort or pain in the legs, especially after prolonged standing or sitting.
- Swelling: Noticeable swelling in the legs and ankles.
- Heaviness or Fatigue: A feeling of heaviness or fatigue in the legs.
- Itching or Burning: Sensation of itching or burning around the affected veins.
- Muscle Cramps: Cramping in the legs, particularly at night.
- Skin Changes: Discoloration or changes in the skin around the veins, and in severe cases, ulcers may develop.

Contributing Factors
- Genetics: A family history of varicose veins increases the risk.
- Aging: Veins lose elasticity as people age, leading to valve malfunctions.
- Hormonal Changes: Hormonal changes during pregnancy, menstruation, and menopause make women more susceptible.
- Obesity: Excess weight adds pressure to the veins.
- Prolonged Standing or Sitting: Jobs or activities that require long periods of standing or sitting can impede blood flow.
Laser Treatment of Trunk Varicose Vein
Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT) is a state-of-the-art, minimally invasive procedure used to treat trunk varicose veins. This advanced technique involves the use of laser energy to seal off the affected veins, providing relief from symptoms and improving the appearance of varicose veins.
Procedure Overview
- Preparation: The procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia.
- Insertion of Laser Fiber: A small incision is made, and a thin laser fiber is inserted into the affected vein.
- Application of Laser Energy: The laser energy is delivered through the fiber, heating the vein walls.
- Closure of the Vein: The heat causes the vein to collapse and seal shut.
- Absorption by the Body: Over time, the treated vein is absorbed by the body and fades away.
Benefits of EVLT
- Minimally Invasive: EVLT is less invasive than traditional surgery, involving only a small incision.
- Quick Recovery: Most patients can return to their normal activities shortly after the procedure.
- Effective Relief: The treatment provides effective relief from symptoms such as pain, swelling, and heaviness in the legs.
- Cosmetic Improvement: EVLT improves the appearance of varicose veins, enhancing the aesthetic look of the legs.
